Texas Harris Alzheimer's Research Study
The Texas Harris Alzheimer’s Research Study is a prospective cohort study from the United States of America and had the aim of establishing a comprehensive research cohort of well characterised subjects to address improved diagnosis, treatment, and, ultimately, prevention of Alzheimer's Disease. The research study database includes individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and cognitively healthy controls subjects (NC). Yearly study visits began from inception of the study on February 20, 2007, until August 20, 2014—resulting in a total follow-up period of 7 years.
